UTFTCFT AMD I HOML L.ULIT OF THE RIKMU.
Every farmer in his annual experience
discovers something t,f taint. Write it and
tend it to the "Agricultural Editor of the
OKUOCHAT, HelUfunte, I'enn'n," that other
farmers may hate the benefit of it. Eel
communications be timely, and be ture that
they are brief and well pointed.
TIIK cost of hauling products to
the railway is one of the fearful
drains upon the farmers' profit®.
Thin cont might In; greatly lessened
by improved rondo, ami rood* could
be greatly improved with no addi
tional exjienae.
Tiioiioi oil rolling and fining of

all case*, but in r ding early vegeta
ble a, palliculal t\ in a cold climate, it
it ol prime importance, and the ex
p use must be incurred. It Will not
do in thi* c.a* , to u c given manure,
a'id wait for the slow process of rot
ting in the giouml.
Tnr. f.irmr r who makes sheep hus
bindry profitable is the man who
carefully si-bets his breeding owe*,
annually culls out the old and in
fetior stock to fatten for the maiket,
and constantly keeps thoroughbred
rain* for breeding. If be cannot af
ford to start with puiely bred ewes,
lie can, by judicious selection, have a
flock nearly equal to those composed
of thoroughbred ewe*. Xo other
kind of stock raising pay* ao well a*

necessary to keep the stock young;
thus giving the last wool. I.literal
feeding will increase the wlight of
the fleece a pound or two, a-- compar

Under its "humbug" heading, the
. 1 .nrrican .\<jriculturi for April, d<-
livrs the following. If ail that we
tiear lie true, some of our < nli<
county- faiiiKi* tuay think a portion
of the advice |*r*<hid, but it is m t
sun SWIM.IIS.
For a long while we have tr<is<-<d
the announcement of those wonder
ful metis which come every sj ling
fioni one or two small towns in T n
fiessce, but this year we have SIMIII -
thing similar from (ieoigia. The
corn ad ve rtised is tiuly calleil 'Giant,'
for it is stated that "the grams are as
I L*L.K > TIIK IHIH.I l/l ( IIISTM T.
.More* than that, the ear* "are of
very large size," as tlicy ought to In
to carry such kernel* ; Isoldes, they
| average "three to six ears to the stalk"
| —on the principle that one "can't
J have too much id a g od thing."
Hut the most remarkable thing al>oot
this corn is that it is "|ifcclly
bardy." After this wc do hot need
to be told that it is "a new slid dis
tinct variety"—yes, very "distinct."
The snme concern also oilers the
seed of watermelons, which average
75 to 125 pound* each. As they
will "grow in any section ol the
country," they must be as hardy as
the corn.

usually put in their nppearnnec this
month. We again remind our fiiemls
that no plant of any real value is in
troduced by peddlers or travelling
salesmen. No matter what represen
tations are made as to the su|ierior
quality of a grape or other fruit,
don't buy it of these chaps, of whom
you know nothing except what they
say of themselves. W hatcver is worth
planting may Is* had of reliable deal
ers. Believe no stories of unusal
tilings, no matter how beautiful the
pictures that illustrate them, or bow
glib the tongue of the one who offers
them. *'Self-pruning grn|cvjnes,"
strawberries that grow upon "bush
es," peaches made hardy by "bud
ding on the French willow," are
among the im|Hissiblc things offered
in some part of the country every
spring.
OKE WIISA to rvSMtss,
es|ecinlly those who have recently
become our readers. This busy month
is one of those chosen by swindlers
to endeavor to get the farmer's sig
nature by some method, as mention
ed in February last. I>o not allow
the pre*a and hurry of woik, or the
desire to lie rid of the stranger, in
duce you to lign any paper whatever.
No matter Imw large the prumiocd
profit, do not accept the agency for
any implement, aa trouble will surely
follow. Grinders for the knives of
mowing machincß, and spring-bottom
mattresses, still appear to Ire favorite
article* of which these fellows otter
the ageui-r, but they deal in other
wares at times.

{ou are sure of a good article, don't

Tho Wants of tho Farmers.
Prof. Baal In Yrm r><l Otfflrn.
Without reference to the order of
importance, I name what net-m* to
me to IH.' some of the leading wants
of the farmers.
They want cheap and uniformly
cheap rutes of transportation to the
maiket*. Hefore raising a crop tbey
want to know what it will cost to
take it to market. After securing
this information tliey can make ex
pcrimcnts to help determine what it
is best for them to laise and in what
condition tliey can most profitably
ship their surplus products.
They need better business habits
to enable them to buy and sell to
the best advantage. Tliey need fewer
middle men, and ure seeking to come
nearer the consumer with their sur
plus and neuter the manufacturer for
their implements, clothing and gro
ceries.
They need to possess more system

Most farmers can advance their in

The same will to some extent fol

and handling stoek.

fertilizers of some kind, wus a great

The manifest link between village
ami village, farm and f.trin, dwelling
and dwelling in the country, is the
highway. Thi in the common inter
♦*t and expresses the common life.
Now the highway, instead of being
the king's highway, the |<eo|ile's roy
al highway, haa, with on, buffered
every fonu of neglect and violence.
A |H>*ftih)e line of travel is all that
has ordinarily been arrived at. The
highway, even in its own improve
ment, has been dug into roughoens,
ami ugliness; has lieen made the re
ceptacle or east swsy rubbish, brush,
stones, weeds; has la-en the catch
all of neglected tools ami vehicles,
ss il approached the dwelling; and
found its only kind treatnnnt at the
hands of nature in the wild under
growth gathered in ita unoccupied
portions. Some villages arc start
ing a very notable improvement in
removing fences, making the street
truly common, and directing to it
their first attention. Social life and
public taste receive an immense im
impulse from this method. I fart and
taste, and a humane spirit, are to
penetrate the country, llicy must do
so along these same highways, win
ning puldic interest lor them, pro
tecting them from neglect, and mak
ing them in every way serviceable
and enjoyable. Nor is this a costly
taste, but quite the levorse. The
badly ordered road is morecx|>enaive
than the well-kept one, while the
roadside, which is usually lost to ag
riculture, can easily lie saved to tree
culture and grass witli very little ad
ditional lalior. If the inhabitants of
a township could be brought to con
cur in the common in>|Muvement of
well-ordered roads, a touch of art
would Sml its way along Lliein to
every household. Fine-roads are the
ine-work of the country, and every
well-cultivated farm, every neat dwel
ling, its pro|ier setting.
FARMSM, commence plowing.
Bring Homo Something.
Nearly every farmer goes to the
neureat village to trade, visit a me
chanic, or obtain hi* letter* and pa
para at leaat once a week. He often
Lakes a load to market, but he rarely
bring* one home. He can, with very
llllc trouble, haul a load of manure
that may la; of great IteneOt to bin
land. Moat village people make no
uae of the ashes produced in their
atovea, or of the bonea taken from
the meat they couautne. (Scarcely
any brewer baa any uae for the hop*
that have la-en boiled in Ida vat*, and
the blacksmith hardly ever save* the
clippings be takes from the fet of
horses. All these materials contain
more or less ammonia than is con
tained in a load of stable manure.
Applied to laud without preparation,
they might give no immediate results,
but they would Ire decomposed in
time, and crops of all kinds would
derive bem lit from them. They may
be so treated that they would pro
duce immediate results. Hy covering
them with fresh horse manure, they
will deeomjmse very rapidly. They
may also be leached in a barret, and
the water that covered them drawn
oil ami applied to plants. Water in
which piem of horns and hoofs have
b< en soaked, i* an excellent manure
fur plants that require forcing. It
stimulates the growth of tomatoes,
rose hushes, and house plants very
rapidly, and emits no offensive odor*.
A vast amount of fertilizing material
i* wasted in towns, that farmers could
obtain the benefit of with very little
trouble.

A farmer turns up bis nose at
"fruit growing," and says "it's small
business." and hard on "horses ami
wagons." Let us see about this
"small huMm s." He employs on an
average through the entire year one
unmarried uioi and one girl, thus
giving mean* lor support to two |a-r
--suns, besides hi* own family. We
employ, on an average, twelve men,
heads of (amities, an I as many more
single men and women, for almost
* iglit months, in fait, the number
that we give employment to, includ
ing pickers from April I-t to Decem

Sick Fowls.
When fowl* s|i|M-tr oul rf order
and lose their ap|etile, a change of
food i* often sufficient to restore
then). The fnd should l>e mixed
with a little linseed meal, and a small
I quantity of pepper and a small quan
: tity of copperas dissolved in their
drinking water would lie useful.
Fowl* suffer more from want of clean
water, and from badly ventilated and
I unclean r<o*ting places, than from
any other cause. Every hennery
should have a hospital attache*!, to
which sick fowl* should lie removed
a* soon a* they Itcgin to droop, or
their wattles or comb* turn pale.
A WRITER in the Srimlijte Ameri
can say a : "We clean our premises of
the detestable vermin, rats, by mak
ing whitewash yellow with copper&a
and covering the stonea and rafters
with it In every crevice in which a
rat may go we put the crystals of
the copperas snd scatter in the corn'

Since that time not a footfall ot either
rata or mice ha* been beard around

yellow wash is given the cellar as a

no typhoid, dysentery or fever at

and pantry and you will soon starve
them out. These precautions, joined
to the service of a good cat, will
prove as good a rat exterminator aa
the chemist can provide. We never
allow rats to be poisoned in our
dwelling. They are so apt to die be
tween the walls ami produce much
annoyance.
